Abstract
THERE are many of us who delight in the use of hand cameras, but who find those of larger size too cumbersome and unwieldly to carry about. With the former pictures may be obtained without those numerous preliminaries which must be gone through every time a picture is required, such as putting up the tripod, setting up the camera, &c, but their size necessitates that the pictures must be rather small. These latter can, however, be enlarged when required, and it is with this special subject that the present little book deals. The process is quite simple, as will be gathered from the sixty-four pages in which the author brings together all information that the operator can require. Not only is the actual method of making bromide enlargements described, but useful hints will be found on constructing one's own apparatus, the different sources of light available, screens, skies and sky printing, &c. The book forms an interesting addition to the popular photographic series, and it should be widely read.
